Description
The 3dB 2W RF Fixed Attenuator is a high-performance passive component designed to reduce the power of an RF signal by exactly 3dB, effectively cutting the signal power in half. With a 2-Watt power handling capacity, it is ideal for low-to-medium power signal conditioning where precision and waveform integrity are paramount. This model is optimized for a wide frequency spectrum from DC to 6GHz, ensuring full compatibility with sub-6GHz 5G NR, Wi-Fi 6, GPS, and advanced telecommunications bands.
The attenuator features an N-Type Male to N-Type Female inline configuration, providing a secure, threaded coupling that is superior for maintaining shielding effectiveness and mechanical stability. It is constructed using high-reliability resistive elements that provide exceptional frequency flatness and a very low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). The housing is manufactured from nickel-plated brass or stainless steel, offering a ruggedized exterior that ensures consistent electrical performance and high durability in both laboratory and field environments.
